THE Premier League have warned ITV they could lose the rights to broadcast Premiership highlights when the television contracts are renegotiated in two years unless the agreement with the Football League is honoured.

A Premier League spokesman said: "As part of the football fraternity we stand shoulder to shoulder with the Football League. The parent companies of ITV Digital should think long and hard at not fulfilling their contracts with the Football League."
